仕事で忙しい方が仕事がないよりいいって英語でなんて言うの？

What I would say is, "I'd rather be busy than bored." or "I'd rather be busy than have noting to do." A longer way to say this would be to say, "I'd rather be busy and have stuff to do than be bored and doing nothing." These basically mean that although it's nice to have free time to do the things you enjoy, being bored and filled with ennui is even worse than having no time. A phrase that we use in English is that "Boredom kills." This can be taken literally, as in too much time in your thoughts and with nothing to do can lead one to kill oneself, or it can be taken a hyperbole/exaggeration in order to stress that boredom is excruciating.

You can be lazing around anywhere and doing nothing in particular, wasting time as it were.

In terms of working, it is usually preferable to be in employment than out of work. You could compress this phrase a little into: "Rather employed than unemployed." Or possibly, "I'd rather be employed than unemployed." An old proverb regarding this point is: Idle hands are the Devil's playground," meaning that when people are idle, their thoughts may lead to negative or underhand or even criminal activities.
